New Muzzleloader...please help!
 

Hello all,

I'm in the market for a new muzzleloader, I was just wondering what the best on the marker is today. I've been looking at the TC Encores and Omegas, but thats just because I've heard a little about them on TV and stuff....what do you guys recommend?

thanks for any help!!!

T/C's are great muzzleloaders. A little pricy though.

Look into CVA's - less expensive, great shooting. I have an Optima Elite (you can change out the barrel from black powder to centerfire).

Personally, I really want a Knight Rolling Block now. My wife's gonna kill me one of these days. :D

Personally, I'd pay that little bit more to net that T/C warranty.

Heard a few rumors you can't beat it................

Gotta have a good warranty when the company wont fix all the know problems.

T/C is great. I have had an Encore for 7 years now and it shoots great. But if you are not wanting to spend alot of money I would look real hard at the CVA. The optima pro has a great trigger, easy to clean and they shoot real well. I looked ath the new T/C triumph and was pretty fond of it too.

Love my T/C Omega.

I got a tc encore prohunter and i love it.It was high but i am really happy with it.

Get a Savage 10ML-II. I've owned half a dozen different muzzleloaders over the years, but once I got my Savage, the other rifles never see the light of day. T/C's are great guns, but the Savage is better. Plus, if it's legal in your state, shooting smokeless powder can't be beat. But even if I couldn't shoot smokeless powder, my 10ML-II would still be my "go-to" ML.

Natchez Shooters Supply carries the full line of 10ML-II's, and they are very reasonably priced.

X2 for the Savage. I was skeptical about them until I won one. Well, my beloved Encore got the boot and was sold off. The Savage is built like a tank, has an adjustable trigger, three position tang safety, and no exposed hammer to contend with. Not to mention milder recoil and being able to see the target after the shot!

The best thing about the encores is the fact that you can also get centerfire and rimfire(now) barrels in either rifle,muzzleloader,shotgun,or handgun flavors.

Overall choice would be T/C. Budget choice would be Traditions....priced right an extremely accurate.

If interestedI have a new in the box TC pro-hunter blue barrel and the new TC Flex stock system. I'm asking $620 shipped and I will consider partial trade-ins as well if you have something I might need? e-mail me at [email protected] to discuss?
Thanks

Just to be different, I have a Remington 700ML. I don't think they're made any more, but mine is extremely accurate.I bought mine used for $200. It will cloverleaf three rounds at 100 yds off the bench with two 777 pellets and just about any 300gr bullet.
I haven't had a muzzleloader since the '70s ( read that sidelock ) and bought this one a couple years ago just because it was there. To be honest, I almost got rid of it until I dicovered triple 7. I had forgotten what a mess these things were. One afternoon at the range last year, I fired 27 rounds through it without cleaning, with triple 7 and had no problems, to say the least, I was impressed. Took my first muzzleloader deer with it last year. I am now hooked.
